实施例1
如图2和3所示,该实施例提供一种光子集成芯片100,该光子集成芯片100包括衬底101,衬底101上设有至少一个光调制单元40。其中,单个光调制单元40包括1×N可调分光器10和N个光调制器20a、20b,N为大于1的整数。上述1×N可调分光器10包括一个输入波导11、调光结构12和N个输出波导13,N个输出波导13分别连接上述N个光调制器20a、20b。单束入射光经1×N可调分光器10的输入波导11输入,调光结构12根据使用要求调节处理该入射光以调节分配到N个输出波导13的分光束的功率大小,各输出波导13将各自接收的分光束传输到相应的光调制器20a、20b内,经各光调制器10调制之后输出载波光信号。该实施例中,光调制单元40的个数为M,M为大于1的整数;衬底101上还设有N个波分复用器30,单个波分复用器30包括M个输入端口和一个输出端口,M个输入端口分别连接M个光调制单元40的单个光调制器20a或20b的输出端。在其它实施例中,光子集成芯片也可以不设波分复用器,使用时,在光子集成芯片的输出光路上设置自由空间的波分复用器。
该实施例中,1×N可调分光器10包括N-1个马赫-曾德尔干涉结构;N-1个马赫-曾德尔干涉结构依次级联,或者N-1个马赫-曾德尔干涉结构相互级联和并联。其中,单个马赫-曾德尔干涉结构包括依次连接的一个1×2耦合器14、两个连接臂15和一个2×2耦合器16。调光结构12为设于马赫-曾德尔干涉结构的至少一个连接臂15上的相移器,该相移器用于调节上述2×2耦合器16输出的两路分光束的分光比,实现1×N可调分光器10各输出波导13之间的分光比的调节。在它实施例中,单个马赫-曾德尔干涉结构也可以包括依次连接的一个2×2耦合器、两个连接臂和一个2×2耦合器。
该实施例中,以N=2,M=4为例进行说明,即该实施例中,光子集成芯片100上集成了4个光调制单元40,如图3所示,每个光调制器单元40包括一个1×2可调分光器10和2个光调制器20a、20b,形成具有2×4个通道的光调制器芯片。其中,1×2可调分光器10为一个马赫-曾德尔干涉结构,包括依次连接的一个1×2耦合器14、两个连接臂15和一个2×2耦合器16。1×2可调分光器10的调光结构12为设于其中一个连接臂15上的相移器,通过该相移器调节该连接臂15内传输的光束的相位,可调节经2×2耦合器16耦合之后分配到两个输出波导13内的分光比。该实施例中,光调制器20a、20b为基于马赫-曾德尔干涉结构的调制器。波分复用器30可以采用基于马赫-曾德尔干涉结构级联的波分复用器,也可以采用基于多模干涉结构等其它结构的波分复用器。
当用于2个光发射接口8个通道(如2×FR4等)的光模块中时,通过相移器调节1×2可调分光器10的分光比为1:1,使两个输出波导13分别将两束功率大致相等的分光束传输到相应的光调制器20a、20b内。同一光调制单元40的两个光调制器20a、20b输出的载波光信号分别传输到两个波分复用器30上,各自与其它光调制单元的载波光信号波分复用合为复合光信号输出。例如,4个光调制单元40中各自的两个光调制器20a、20b中的其中一个光调制器20a都连接到同一个波分复用器上,另一个光调制器20b都连接到另一个波分复用器上,实现两组四通道光信号的波分复用。当用于单个光发射接口4个通道(如FR4)的光模块中时,可通过相移器调节1×2可调分光器10的分光比为1:0,使光束全部分配到其中一个输出波导13中,经该输出波导13传输到相应的光调制器(如光调制器20a)内。此时,另外一个输出波导13中的光功率几乎为0,与之相连的光调制器(如光调制器20b)不工作,即4个光调制单元40中各只有一个光调制器20a工作。4个光调制单元40内工作的光调制器20a输出的载波光信号都传输到同一个波分复用器30内,波分复用器30将四路载波光信号波分复用为一路复合光信号输出。不同规格的光模块(如FR4/DR4/SR4/LR4或2×FR4/2×DR4/2×SR4/2×LR4等)都可采用该光子集成芯片调制信号,可有效简化物料管理、降低库存压力。
如图3中A处的横截面所示,该实施例中,光子集成芯片100基于SOI(Silicon-On-Insulator,绝缘体上硅)结构设计,包括依次层叠的硅衬底101、埋氧层102和顶层硅103,上述1×N可调分光器10、光调制器20a、20b和波分复用器30均由顶层硅103蚀刻形成,顶层硅103上还可覆盖上包层104。上述相移器(调光结构12)包括设于连接臂121(连接臂15的一部分)附近的加热电极124,该加热电极124通过导电过孔123与上包层104上方的金属电极122电性连接,外部电源通过金属电极122给加热电极124供电。调节加热电极124的电压或电流,改变相应连接臂121的光学参数,如折射率等,从而改变该路分光的相位,使其在2×2耦合器16上与另一路分光束耦合,重新分配分光比,分成两路分别由两个输出波导13传输到不同的光调制器20a、20b内。在其它实施例中,光子集成芯片也可以基于Ⅲ-Ⅴ族材料制作的半导体芯片结构,如铌酸锂芯片等。相移器也可以采用其它加热结构实现热调相。
实施例2
如图4和5所示,该实施例的光子集成芯片结构与实施例1类似,不同的是,该实施例中,N=3,M=4,即该实施例中,光子集成芯片100a上集成了4个光调制单元40,如图4所示,每个光调制器单元40包括一个1×3可调分光器10和3个光调制器20a、20b和20c,形成具有3×4个通道的光调制器芯片。如图5所示,其中,1×3可调分光器10为两个马赫-曾德尔干涉结构级联10a、10b,单个马赫-曾德尔干涉结构包括依次连接的一个1×2耦合器、两个连接臂和一个2×2耦合器。第一马赫-曾德尔干涉结构10a包括第一1×2耦合器14a、两个第一连接臂15a和第一2×2耦合器16a,第二马赫-曾德尔干涉结构10b包括第二1×2耦合器14b、两个第二连接臂15b和第二2×2耦合器16b。第二马赫-曾德尔干涉结构10b的第二1×2耦合器14b连接第一马赫-曾德尔干涉结构10a的第一2×2耦合器16a的其中一个输出端口,第一2×2耦合器16a的另一个输出端口和第二2×2耦合器16b的两个输出端口分别连接三个输出波导13。该实施例中,调光结构包括分别设于第一连接臂15a和第二连接臂15b上的第一相移器12a和第二相移器12b,通过两个相移器12a、12b可根据需要任意调节三个输出波导的分光比,三个输出波导13分别连接上述三个光调制器20a、20b和20c。在其它实施例中,也可以根据需求只在第一连接臂或第二连接臂上设置相移器。
在其它实施例中,光子集成芯片上可集成的光调制单元的数量M不受限制,单个光调制单元的1×N可调分光器分光数量N也可根据实际需要进行设计。例如N=4时,1×N可调分光器可以为3个马赫-曾德尔干涉结构依次级联,或者是3个马赫-曾德尔干涉结构级联和并联的组合,如其中两个马赫-曾德尔干涉结构的输入端口分别连接另一个马赫-曾德尔干涉结构的两个输出端口。N=5时,1×N可调分光器可以为4个马赫-曾德尔干涉结构依次级联,或者是4个马赫-曾德尔干涉结构级联和并联的组合,以此类推!
实施例3
如图6所示,该实施例提供了一种光发射组件,该光发射组件包括上述实施例1或2所述的光子集成芯片100,以及至少一个激光器200和耦合单元300。单个激光器200发出的光束经上述耦合单元300耦合到光子集成芯片100的单个光调制单元40内,经光调制单元调制40之后输出N路载波光信号,N路载波光信号再分别经N个波分复用器30与其它光调制单元的载波光信号合为N路复合光信号输出。该实施例中,耦合单元300为分别与各激光器200相配合的耦合透镜,激光器200发射的激光通过端面耦合的方式耦合到光子集成芯片100内。在其它实施例中,激光器发射的激光也可以通过垂直耦合的方式耦合到光子集成芯片内,如耦合单元包括垂直耦合光栅和/或光路反射结构等,激光器设于光子集成芯片上方,激光器发射的激光经垂直耦合光合/或光路反射结构耦合到光子集成芯片内。

该光发射组件中,1×2可调分光器10也可调节分光比为1:0,即单个1×2可调分光器10接收的激光束全部经其中一路输出波导传输到同一个光调制器(如光调制器20a)内,另一路输出波导内没有光传输,与之相连的光调制器20b此时不工作。单个光调制单元40内只有一个光调制器20a工作,输出一路载波光信号,4个光调制单元40输出的4路载波光信号再经同一个波分复用器30合为一路复合光信号输出。此时可适用于单光发射接口4通道的光模块。
